Infrastructure modernization, from on-premises to Microsoft Azure with backup solution using Azure Files, Azure Backup and Recovery Services Vault.

In this project based on a real-world scenario, I acted as a Cloud Specialist to modernize and migrate an on-premises infrastructure environment to Microsoft Azure. I deployed a set of Virtual Machines, the infrastructure, a shared file system and replaced backups from tape to cloud backups with 99.9% (3-nines) availability.

I used a Resource Group to organize resources, a VNet with a subnet where we would have the provisioning of 2 Application VMs and Azure Files as a shared file system solution between our Application VMs.

All the power and reliability of Azure Backup with Azure Recovery Services have been used to configure the backup of files in the shared file system. Once again, Azure Backup has been used to move the files to the Recovery Services Vault.

To test, I added and removed files in one VM and the changes persisted in the other VM. I also was able to recover the removed resource through Azures Backup recovery UI.
